Nathan N., son of Joseph and Elizabeth Farley Matheny and Narcissa Cronin, daughter of Walter and Sarah, were my great-great grandparents. Walter's father came from County Cork, Ireland to PA bef 1795. Joseph is descended from William B. Matheny through Nathaniel and Nathan who also lived in PA. I believe the Farleys and the Mathenys became aquainted during the Revolutionary War, or when both families lived in Hampshire Co., VA.
Date & Place:
in Pleasants County, West Virginia USA
